"Jesus Bids us Shine" was sung by 'a quartette of smaller pupils, Jerry LaRue, Betty Allen, Pauline Cowan and Jimmie Hall. The children's choir then sang "Pull for the shore." The offertory prayer was taken by Elmer Wilkinson and was followed by the hymn "For the beauty of the earth." Rev. Mr. Anderson chose for the subject of his address "Lighthouses". He told of the olden days before lighthouses were used, low the ships at the approach of darkness would head for shelter and tie up for the night. So that ships could sail at night, thus saving time and trouble, lighthouses were devised. At first these were bonfires on the shores, lat- er coal beacons and later huge candles placed behind a reflector. While to- day lighthouses are most modern and sailors from any country can under- stand their meaning of warning or guidance. Jesus, he said, knew all about lighthouses as he had said "Ye are the light of the world." If we are to be good lighthouses we must have the solid foundation of Jesus Christ and be light -giving. This very impressive service was brought to a close with a solo "Let tha lower lights be burning" by Miss Partushek, the hymn "Take time to be holy" and the Benediction by El- mer Wilkinson. Mrs. John W. Smith and Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Nortrop and family wish to thank the friends and neighbors for the many kindnesses shown them during their recent bereavement.

Robertson, M.L.A., Present A. very pleasing feature of the meet- ing was the fact that Mr. C. A. Rob- ertson, local member in the Provinc- ial Legislature, was present and al- though not fully recovered from the stroke he had last summer, was bright, cheerful and active. He was greeted with great applause by the audience when he took the platform to introduce Dr. George McQuibbon, member for North Wellington, who gave a splendid address. Dr. McQuibbon The Doctor told how he and "Char- lie" Robertson had fought against the mal administration of the Ferguson and Henry governments. How the debt of the Province during this time had increased from 25 to 50 million dollars a year, how this increasing de- ficit had been pointed out by the small numbers of Liberal opposition which was a difficult task for so few. He said it was history now but that the material used during the Provincial elections was found in great part by these few Liberal members. He spoke in . glowing terms of "Bob" Deachman, saying there was no more diligent or hard-working gentle- man in the cause of his country. Of resent -daY conditions he asked what was wrong? Prices are low and surpluses cannot be marketed. This, he declared, is due to high tariffs. The only way to dispel the depression is to have ships of all countries calling at our ports delivering goods and carrying our goods away in exchange. Dr. McQuibbon has a plan for us- ing up the surplus hydro power and he enthusiastically explained his idea, ter of dogsrunning loose and damag- The farmers at present, he said, use ing gardens. : On. motion of Coons, very little Hydro power, just about Wilson and Thomson, this matter was }what would light the city of London, land that left over and is to be dealt with by that there are but 30,000 Ontario ! farmers who are hydro users.

Prices in 1926, he explained, were onan even keel. From 1926 to 1930 the price the farmer got for his pro- ducts was higher than manufactured products. Since that time the Liberals were defeated and new tariffs came into force and the price of farm pro- ducts went very low while the Price of goods dropped but slightly. Empire trade agreements, he said, had been made on a false basis, be- cause the Conseratives raised tariffs in place of lowering them.
